Testing normal maps. Not sure what to think about it. 🤔 Does it have a place in #pixelart of this style? #indiedev

Will need some touchups, but loving this stuff. 🌞 #indiedev #gamedev

I see bsky still doesn't support animated .webp, so here's a GIF like it's 1990.

Was tweaking my lighting shader and accidentally summoned an eldritch horror tree. 💀 #indiedev #gamedev #pixelart

What is that wisp? Looks magical... ✨ Should I follow it, or rather stay away? #screenshotsaturday #indiedev

Asseteer v0.2.0 released. 🎉 Better UI, drag, copy-paste, bug fixes. Now you can explore your SFX libraries in style. github.com/Antriel/asse...

Soft shadows? In #pixelart? Why not! Next up, some color maybe. ✨ #indiedev #gamedev

Antriel @antriel.com · 22/09/2026

Yeah. Also HW differences, some thing that are fast on basically any modern GPU (even phones) can be unusable on older stuff.

Antriel @antriel.com · 22/09/2026

2.5D lights and shadows are full of weird edge cases, and as-is it barely runs on my old phone. But I will keep iterating. #gamedev #indiedev

Long road ahead. Should be fun. 🔥 #indiedev #gamedev

Horde vs Horde demo/performance verification complete. Now back to the actual game. ...Which will not have Hordes... but it's there if needed! #indiedev #gamedev

Let's make ~~Flash~~ #HTML5 games like it's 2010. #indiedev

Antriel @antriel.com · 15/07/2026

This one is pretty. Not sure how useful it all is for in-game stuff, but it was essentially free to support. #indiedev #gamedev #phaserjs

Antriel @antriel.com · 14/07/2026

Yep! antriel.github.io/phaser4-msdf...

Antriel @antriel.com · 14/07/2026

github.com/antriel/phas... v0.4.0 released. I went a bit crazy with it. Rich text. Mix and animate colors, fonts, sizes, underlines, highlights and more. All one draw call. Check the examples. #indiedev #gamedev #phaserjs

Antriel @antriel.com · 27/06/2026

I've got some things to fix here... Unless that's some new combat style I've never heard of before? 🕺"If I wiggle hard enough, no sword can touch me! We call it the frenetic worm style." #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #gamedev

Antriel @antriel.com · 26/06/2026

Wanted to do a fun "LOOK AT THE PERFORMANCE" demo, but there are some bugs to deal with. ⚔️ So instead here's a not-as-fun demo for now. #indiedev #gamedev

082

Antriel @antriel.com · 24/06/2026

Not perfect, but getting there. Do things need to pixel perfect, or just pixel? 😂 #gamedev #indiedev

072

Antriel @antriel.com · 22/06/2026

A very non-exciting GIF, but I've started work on pixel perfect UI setup, and at least for me, that's exciting. ✨ #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

Antriel @antriel.com · 18/06/2026

Simple flocking/flanking. Much better. The attack telegraphing might need some work though; was hoping to avoid having to touch pixels manually. 😩 Or maybe it's good enough? What do you think? #indiedev #gamedev

Antriel @antriel.com · 16/06/2026

Might need to tweak the numbers a bit, but AI (the old school kind) is in. Now for the rest of the owl... #indiedev #gamedev

🐶🥣on my MSDF Text Phaser plugin, v0.3 released, added per-glyph alpha/outline and scaleX/Y control. antriel.github.io/phaser4-msdf... #phaserjs #webdev

Now this is some weird ritual. Looks maybe a bit dangerous. ⚔️ Should I be scared? They are well synchronized, I will give them that. 💈 #gamedev #indiedev

Alright, random clothing system works. Now just to add more than 2 shirts, weapons, maybe teach them how water should work, pathfinding, protecting themselves (with the weapons). Making RPGs is easy. 😎 #indiedev #gamedev

Antriel @antriel.com · 22/05/2026

After talking about it for 5 years I've finally made a plugin for MSDF text rendering for @phaser.io github.com/Antriel/phas... #phaser #gamedev

061

Antriel @antriel.com · 01/05/2026

It might have taken me 3 days, it's overengineered, the editor for it is ugly and half-broken; but I can put clothes on anything now. 👕 #indiedev #rpg

Wanted to try a gamejam after over a decade. Not sure if it's something yet, but will keep at it. 🕹️ #indiedev #gamedevjs

The test is just flaky, unrelated to our changes.

Antriel @antriel.com · 18/03/2026

Got too many asset bundles? Can never find anything? This might help. Coming soon. #gamedev #gameaudio

Is this too much polish? (Removing seams from starting area.) #indiedev #gamedev

I so wanted to make B look better, but failed. Gotta move on. Thanks for the feedback! :)

Choosing a healthbar style. Which one would you choose? #indiegame

Antriel @antriel.com · 13/03/2026

Not much, practically no. Then again it's just a string and at most some metadata for how to render it, so...? I would like a system for deeper nesting though. When `epic -> task` turns into `epic -> main task -> bunch of subtasks`, it would be nice to query and render that in UI nicely. _Somehow._

Antriel @antriel.com · 12/03/2026

2 On $20 sub though.

That was done already. This one will be MOAR FASTER BALL.

New idle clicker prototype, reusing bits from other stuff. What do you think? #gamedev #indiedev #phaserjs

Smooth and seamless intro.

Antriel @antriel.com · 08/03/2026

I use the TUI, but I would use web UI if it existed. The TUI is not bad, but has some issues, and web UI could be much more powerful in the long run. I don't see why you can't just keep both though. Just make sure to keep TUI simple, on purpose. Limit use-cases to those that make sense in a CLI.
